"The body fluid of the models have been replaced with glitter in order to visualize the concept of girls invariably needing to seem attractive regardless of what is actually happening each scenario," Altman told A+.

As Altman explained, the series aims to be a visual reminder of how unreasonable female beauty standards can be, given that women are often expected to maintain attractive looks no matter what. All models featured in Altman's photos are shot in situations that usually would be "considered grotesque." if not for the glitter.

"The women models do not seem to acknowledge the glitter as something any different than natural body fluid..."

"... which supplements the idea that women have been conditioned to go to any length in order keep up an attractive appearance."
